Honkai Star Rail 3.6 update expected release date, explored

When the second phase gacha banners of the ongoing patch expire, Honkai Star Rail 3.6 will go live. HoYoverse, the developers of this turn-based gacha title, strictly follow a six-week patch cycle for every update. This means the upcoming HSR version 3.6 patch could commence on September 24, 2025, at 11 am CST (UTC+8), roughly twelve days after the special program livestream takes place.

While the update is expected to go live in all regions simultaneously, the time won’t be the same. The following section showcases a table featuring the Honkai Star Rail version 3.6’s speculated release date and time in different regions:

Date	Time	Timezone

Everything to expect from the Honkai Star Rail 3.6 patch

Similar to previous patches, the upcoming HSR version 3.6 will be split into two phases. Each phase will supposedly feature a brand-new and a returning character. While the latest units are already confirmed, the rerun ones are yet to be revealed. Hence, Trailblazers must wait until the livestream for further information.

Besides that, a new Trailblaze Mission will be added to the game, continuing the Amphoreus saga showcased in version 3.5. Additionally, the flagship event will likely go live alongside the patch.
